<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u323900/ipad_4thgen.jpg" alt="Fourth-gen iPad" class="graphic-right" />If you're in the market for a new iPad, plenty of retailers and buyer sites are more than willing to take your old iOS device off your hands. According to at least two trade-in sites, the number of iPads sent in for trade has soared, thanks in no small part to yesterday's announcements.</p><p>Speaking to <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ipad-resales-surge-over-700-2012-10-24" target="_blank">MarketWatch</a>, both Gazelle and NextWorth have reported a sharp increase in the number of iPad trade-ins over the past couple days. Gazelle said around 140,000 devices were offer to the company on Tuesday alone; an increase of over 700-percent since Monday.</p><p>NextWorth, another major buyer of used iOS devices, reported an increase of iPad units over 1000-percent. While the jump in trade-ins is obviously massive, NextWorth declined to state just how many units were involved in the surge.</p><p>Perhaps even more interesting, Gazelle and NextWorth attribute 70-percent of the devices sold to the companies as third-gen iPads. According to a Gazelle representative, Anthony Scarsella, the high volume is attributed to the going price for Apple's now-discontinued device.</p><p>"Consumers can fetch up to $495 for an old iPad," Scarsella told MarketWatch.</p><p><a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/apple_special_event_live_blog" target="_blank">On Tuesday</a>, Apple not only revealed the long-rumored iPad Mini for a starting price of $329, but also announced a fourth-gen iPad. The last iPad -- only seven months on the market -- has already been put out to pasture.</p><p>While there's certainly some portion of people trading-in third-gen iPads to upgrade to the new fourth-gen device, it seems fairly obvious the iPad mini is driving the boom. The lower price of the smaller iPad means trade-ins could potentially put money back into the pocket of a seller -- and they still get an iPad.</p><p>If you're thinking about grabbing your own iPad mini, be sure to <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/how_buy_ipad_mini" target="_blank">take a look at our handy guide</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>Follow this article's author, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/clarkmatt" target="_blank">Matt Clark on Twitter.</a></em></p><p>&nbsp;</p>http://www.maclife.com/article/news/online_buyers_receive_staggering_ipad_tradeins#commentsNewsios trade-insiPadiPad MiniWed, 24 Oct 2012 21:24:57 +0000Matt Clark15419 at http://www.maclife.com
